Ruan Yi guessed what the dinner was when she heard the director say this, the director valued her and usually introduced her to contacts.

Ruan Yi shouldn't have refused, but this time she was really not suitable to go: "Director, I have something to do at night, you can take someone else." ”

Director: "What's the matter?" You push it first, Huitong wants to do long-term cooperation with our school laboratory, and Professor Liu will also go with him. ”

Professor Liu was Ruan Yi's doctoral supervisor at the time and is now the leader of the laboratory at the University of Technology.

Ruan Yi usually works under Professor Liu, and when she encounters problems during the writing of her dissertation, Professor Liu often guides her.

The director moved out of Professor Liu, and Ruan Yi had to go.

In fact, Ruan Yi knew very well in his heart that Xu Siyan himself might not go to this dinner at night, even if he did go, he would definitely pretend not to know her, he disdained to make things difficult for her, let alone "catch up" with her.

Ruan Yi just couldn't get over the level in her heart, she always subconsciously felt that the two should avoid meeting as much as possible if they were divorced, and she even deliberately avoided contacting Xu Siyan's friends.

Because he was temporarily taken to dinner by the director, Ruan Yi had no choice but to send a WeChat message to Jiang Yu to miss the appointment.

Jiang Yu didn't blame her, he just asked her what kind of dinner she was, and Ann was not safe.

Although Ruan Yi said that it was safe, Jiang Yu was still not at ease: [Then you are almost done and send me WeChat, and I will pick you up. 】

Ruan Yi: [Don't bother you. 】

Jiang Yu: [Anyway, I live in a university town, so it's not troublesome. 】

——

In the evening, the dinner was held at a private restaurant on this side of the university town, and the location was booked by the school.

Ruan Yi followed the director and Professor Liu into the big box, and Professor Liu and the director chatted, and there was joy between the lines.

It's also normal that the school has received such a large donation of equipment, and it is hard not to be happy.

When the two professors were chatting, Ruan Yi did not interject and quietly poured tea for them.

After Ruan Yi and several professors sat in the box for more than ten minutes, the people from Huitong Biotech arrived-

After Ruan Yi heard the movement, he subconsciously raised his head to look at the past.

After seeing that familiar figure, Ruan Yi quickly moved his gaze elsewhere.

Although he had made psychological preparations before, after meeting Xu Siyan like this, Ruan Yi was still a little unnatural.

It's not because I'm shy, it's just to avoid suspicion.

Couples after divorce, for whatever reason, should see each other less often.

But listening to the professor's meaning, Huitong Biotech wants to cooperate with the school's laboratory for a long time, and she, as a member of the laboratory, may not be able to avoid meeting Xu Siyan in the future.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yi couldn't help but have a headache.

Xu Siyan was followed by an assistant, Ruan Yi had met him a few times before, and vaguely remembered that he seemed to be Jiang Chen.

He was joined by several middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, who should be executives in the company.

Xu Siyan is wearing a black suit and gray tie today, and his gestures are full of dignity and detachment.

But he was very polite and took the initiative to greet Professor Liu and the director: "Hello two professors, we meet again." ”

Listening to Xu Siyan's meaning, I have seen them before.

Professor Liu and the director also responded to Xu Siyan's words, and after that, the director introduced Ruan Yi to Xu Siyan: "Mr. Xu, this is Ruan Yi, Lao Liu's proud protégé, and now an associate professor in our department. ”

The topic turned to her, Ruan Yi had to look directly at Xu Siyan this time, she raised her eyes and calmly met his eyes.

Xu Siyan was also looking at her.

Ruan Yi's eyes were indifferent and detached, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Although the two professors made introductions, Ruan Yi had no intention of taking the initiative to talk to him.

Xu Siyan just stared at her.

Finally, Professor Liu reminded Ruan Yi: "Xiao Ruan, why are you stunned." ”

Ruan Yi knew that Professor Liu meant that she should politely say hello to Xu Siyan, and in fact, when facing entrepreneurs at dinner in the past, Ruan Yi would do the same without their reminders.

But after the subject was changed to Xu Siyan, Ruan Yi did not have any urge to talk to him.

Therefore, after the professor reminded him, Ruan Yi simply saluted Xu Siyan, and his eyes only stayed on his face for two or three seconds, and then quickly moved away.

Xu Siyan saw what Ruan Yi was doing, and the hand in his trouser pocket tightened a little, and his knuckles contracted.

Since the divorce lawsuit was filed, Ruan Yi has always had this attitude towards him.

Now she is upright, even on social occasions, she is not willing to say a word to him in a good voice, and even disdain to look at him.

It seems that those four years or so have been really hard work.

Ruan Yi didn't speak, and Xu Siyan didn't respond to her, but went to talk to the two professors about cooperation.

During the meal, Ruan Yi sat next to Professor Liu and listened quietly to their conversation, and did not say a few words during the whole process-

Even, Ruan Yi didn't look at Xu Siyan a few more times.

She knew that Xu Siyan must have taken a fancy to the ability of the laboratory to cooperate with the University of Technology, and Xu Siyan was not a person who was not divided into companies, so that her career decisions would not be affected because of her dispensable ex-wife.

So Ruan Yi didn't force himself to "please" Xu Siyan, as a less pleasing passer-by in his life, it was best to lower his sense of existence.

What's more, she herself didn't really want to talk to Xu Siyan.

Ruan's speculation proved to be correct, Xu Siyan had a very smooth and pleasant conversation with the two professors, he has always had his own opinions and unique vision in career decision-making, and after chatting about cooperation, he even chatted with the two professors for a while.

Professor Liu was pleasantly surprised when he learned that Xu Siyan was a biopharmaceutical professional: "No wonder your company has developed so well in recent years, and professional people have a keen sense of smell. ”

Xu Siyan: "You have an overreputation, I'm just a businessman, and I can't compare to everyone who does academic research." ”

It was the first time Ruan Yi had seen Xu Siyan look polite, and Yu Guang glanced at his position.

Even when he said such a scene, he would not give people that greasy and vulgar feeling.

Temperament is indeed a metaphysics.

For so many years, Xu Siyan's nobility has not been discounted.

Towards the end of the meal, the director proposed that everyone in the audience touch a glass, and Ruan Yi poured himself a drink.

She usually doesn't touch wine when she goes out to dinner with the two professors, and sometimes someone will persuade her to drink, but if she doesn't need to refuse, the director will stop her first, saying that she is a girl and can't drink.

Under normal circumstances, with this sentence, the person on the other side will no longer forcibly persuade her.

After all, she is a university teacher.

But what Ruan Yi didn't expect was that as soon as she finished pouring the drink, she heard an executive next to Xu Siyan ask: "Teacher Ruan doesn't speak during dinner, and drinks in the toast, does he have any opinions about our company?" ”

Although he asked with a smile, everyone at the table could hear that this was a disguised difficulty.

The movement of Ruan Yi's hand stopped.
